OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU AT THIS TIME OF YOUR LOSS.
I met CeCe when I started dancing with the Waterloo Country Cloggers. She made me feel like I had been there from the beginning. She became that once in a lifetime friend that took me as I am, unconditionally. When I was told that CeCe was in Hospice and time would be short, I sat down and wrote the following words: Life's Traveled Roads The roads we travel through life Begin at our birth, and take us Through years of discovery, Wonder, love, pain, and joy. The roads we travel Lead us on many journeys. Some journeys we plan; Others are planned for us. The roads you have traveled Brought you to your family. And after many years of travel, Lead you to start out on your own. One road you traveled Brought you to the man That would be the friend Who would become your husband. This road you traveled together Would become crowded When you gave life and love To your adoring, loving sons. This road your family traveled Has let you watch your family grow And begin taking their own Separate roads to travel. The road we travel Doesn’t always take us To the destinations We dream about. But with faith and prayer We know because of grace The final road we travel Will take us home. I am comforted knowing that I will see her again one day and what a celebration that will be. May her family find comfort in each other and their faith. God bless you all at this difficult time.
I first met CeCe when she joined Waterloo Country Cloggers. She had such enthusiasm for dancing, and her laughing and joyous personality couldn't help but rub off on everyone. We'll miss you CeCe! Best wishes and prayers to the family.
I was very saddened to hear CeCe was ill and and shocked to hear her passing came so quickly. She was a wonderful person who touched many people's lives. May memories comfort you at this very difficult time.
Al and Family, I am so sorry for your loss! What a lady she is! CeCe had this ironic sense of humor that helped her through some of the worst difficulties that life offered. Her presence at healing Masses and her faith in God for all of those things over which we have no control were a huge witness to the strength of this woman. May God bless you with comfort, peace and healing at the end of this beautiful life on earth and entry into an eternal life in the presence of God! That is something CeCe would celebrate! Love and Prayers,
Vonita and boys it was a shock to read about CeCe's passing. Though we had lost touch I still remember the great times we had in the neighborhood"back in the day" she taught me about driving a stick shift and having Chinease fire drills--the combination of which was not good on Main Street hill sometimes. She was a wonderful personality I and my family will nver forget. Love and prayers to you all. Sherry McCleary Rausch
Allen, May the arms of Jesus envelope you with His peace,strength,and love. You and Cici have meant so much to us. In Christ, Dale and Kathy Thome
I met CeCe when I worked at CUNA in Waverly. She was a sweet spirit and a wonderful person. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time!
